Bridgewater State College Theatre
Director: Suzanne Ramczyk

Notes:

This design developed in close collaboration with the costume designer, around Oriental themes. The orient spanned both Near and Far Easts in this rich production. Actors wore half-masks, which were highly decorated for the major characters. Performance training for the cast included regular Tai Chi work. Both performance space and 130 audience seats are set on the auditorium stage for an intimate performance environment.
